It does matter what it says. It amazes me how so many atheists are tolerant and PC when it comes to islam.

I find that most atheists are more strongly against Christianity because thats who they have been arguing with for so long.

I see it in my local chapters of the FFRF and American Atheist groups. These guys have a fit if ANYTHING christian happens at a public school. I mean they go nuts. But if it's something to do with Islam they don't really care. They shrug it off and say something like "well they're just trying to teach the kids about culture." I don't think these guys are secret Muslims, they're just anti christian because they've been around Christianity more, or used to battling the loud Christians on forums and in debates. Also I think it has something to do with trying to be so anti racism that they won't even criticize anyone non-white for fear of being labeled racist.

It was not inappropriate but the phrase was ill-advised. It might have been better to find a sentence from, say, one of the Ali Baba stories. I realize availability could be an issue, but there are mosques all over the country and I'm sure it would be easy to find an imam who could supply something acceptable.
